Book Description
The church of The Holy Trinity in Amberley, Gloucestershire was consecrated in 1841. Since that date over 1000 people have been interred in the churchyard and many memorials have been erected in their memory. The majority of these memorials have suffered the ravages on time, by either collapsing completely or becoming severely eroded by weather, so that their inscription have become hard to interpret. In 2006 a project to record all the memorials was started by members of the church led by the Amberley Archive Group. Many of the memorials required extensive clearing of the weeds and ivy that covered them before their inscription could be examined and recorded. At the same time a photograph of each was taken. This project took over 3 years to complete and culminated with the publication of a paper record in 2009 which is kept in the church for public reference. The book was updated in 2018 with an addendum recording all the internments since 2009. This book is one of a set of four, split alphabetically, containing a picture of each memorial, or plaque, together with the details of any inscription. This book contains all the memorials for surnames with initial letter E-L.
